What is the prize for the winner of the Wife-Carrying World Championships in Finland?
Correct answer: The wife's weight in beer

yeah, the first word it off my mouth was wow... then I started wondering if I could borrow someone else's heavier wife... is that wrong?

mad quirky. love it! i mean, it's helpful if your wife is lighter because you have a better chance of winning, but if she's too light well...prize isn't as awesome.
I really really do love it hahahaha! love Finns for being themselves
MALICE

Player #15851508, ...and keep farting all the way to the finish line? 😂
Also, if she gets taken/carried the way depicted in the picture, she would pass out after a short while, then she would become "dead" weight; making it almost impossible to get to the "Finnish" line ;)
Frog
MaffysDad, maybe there's an option to request tea bags instead of beer? :)
Imagine getting the amount of tea bags, that could fill half of a cargo container!
Would that be an incentive for you? ;)
(For the records, I know what"tea total" means, I just wanted to use the tea bag analogy. Sorry if it was a lousy pun...).
Regardless, stay safe and have a nice rest of your day! :)
Frog
Bigtimejeeneeus, haha! 😂 No it's not. However, I do think that this is a well balanced competition, involving stamina and endurance.
If you are blessed with a good level of these, then you can certainly attempt to "borrow" someone else's heavier wife! :)
The prize is definitely a strong motivation - as you can see it on the guy's face in the picture 😂

thus, if my wife's weight is 50kg, roughly 50 liters of beer, enough for a calling 'tagay na' to my friends.

Sorry, finger slip there! As I was saying, before I rudely interrupted myself: That'll be a Health & Safety Consultant's wildest dream come true. Who's gonna carry out the Risk Assessment?
